27 APRIL 2008“Spunky Pines” !!!MONKEY SHINES WEEK!!!Monkey Shines is a 1997 Monty on the Run clone for the Apple MacIntosh starring an ape named Bonzo and a myriad of inexplicable enemies. It was introduced to me (don’t think Whitington ever played it) via Scobell, who played it in its heyday and found it again in a fit of nostalgic rage. We did a nice number of things revolving around it, appropriate to our tendency to become very briefly preoccupied with something before moving on to something fresh within a week or two. These things (a short-lived, separate-to-NTI sprite comic called Shiny Monkeys, a few comics about something called a ‘Monkey Shines Race’ which I’ll get to when I do) will be posted this week. That’s fun, right? I don’t care. Here’s the first mention of the game on NTI.
